Hello!

I am new here and stumbled on the site accidentally while doing a google search for something else. Anywho, I am glad I found a site where others can relate to what I am going through and about to be going through. I am doing my pre-op diet,which isn't just liquids and have been on it since April 1st. My surgeon has me on that for a month due to me having to lose 60 pounds and then I will go for my endoscopy sometime in May and then get my date. I'm sure we all here have had to lose weight before getting the surgery, what kind of exercise did you all do and what kind of Protein brands do you all like? I'm kind of having trouble finding flavors I like, and so far the ones I do drink make me cringe when it is going down. lol

I like zero carb isopure. I just order off amazon by the gallon. Not bad at all but everyone has different preferences here.

I'll add I wish we could get sample sizes of different protein... hate buying so much only to find out that flavor or brand just is not working out.

I'm on day three on my pre op diet and 12 days from surgery. I tried all flavors of Bariatric Advantage and enjoy the chocolate, orange cream and iced latte. The others I can't seem to get down because of smell or too sweet. Good luck though.

I'm going to try those as well.

I like Premier Protein chocolate flavor. I don't have to use them much now (mostly when traveling), but they have been my go-to protein shake all along.

I am seconding Premier Protein. That shake is by far the best brand I've ever had. As long as my taste buds don't change post op, I fully intend to keep drinking them once a day as my diet advances. They are that good

I like the ready to go Premier Protein in chocolate as well. The vanilla.... not so much. I find that it's sicky-sweet. But I bought a whole case and need to get through them. I've blended it with a few fresh strawberries to make it palatable. If you have a Sam's Club nearby a case of 12 for I think $16-$17. Which compares to $7.47 at walmart for 4 it's a good deal.
